INTRODUCTION

ISTF Project # 03-798 was developed in response to the 2003-2004 Internet Science and Technology Fair.

Welcome to the Axial Aircraft Rotation homepage. We pride ourselves in our ability to incorporate the problems of today into the solutions of tomorrow in the field of Aircraft Aerodynamics. Our simple yet effective idea, we believe, may have an enormous effect on all aircraft companies and producers worldwide. We believe by simply adding a buffer of a gelatin-like substance between the shell and cabin of the aircraft, many things may be achieved such as a lower in turbulence as well as providing an axis on which the aircraft can rotate without rotating the cabin itself.
The name of our ISTF project, Axial Aircraft Rotation, is derived from the above basic idea of our innovative idea for future aircrafts. A detailed explanation of this idea can be found in the Components section of the website. A site overview is below.

SITE OVERVIEW

At the top of every page on this site, you will notice the five buttons under the Axial Aircraft Rotation banner picture. This is the basic navigation bar. The name of the page you are on will be partially shaded. Below is information on each section of the navigation bar.

You are currently on the Home Page. The Home Page holds the introduction to the site as well as our ISTF project's general information, viewable at the bottom of this page. From the Home Page, as well as any other page, you may use the navigation bar to reach the page you are looking for. On all pages there will be links to all three components and other essays.
The second option on bar is the Components Page. This page holds all of the detailed information on our ISTF project as described in the ISTF Content Guidelines, as well as it has other essays such as the teaming and communication essay. This page describes what each component holds.
The Team Page provides information on our ISTF team in general, and it also contains a slightly more detailed section on each member. Links to each member's individual page will appear at the upper right hand portion of the site when on the Team Page.
The Updates Page is next on the list. It displays the site's progression through news posts by the Webmaster or other team members. Since the results of the ISTF project will not be updateable by our ISTF team, it will only show the development of the site, not of what is to come.
Finally the Bibliography Page shows a list of all sources used in the research of the aerodynamics field and of our product, ordered by component.
